I think I got that from Yorvo or whatever his name is here.

I didn’t realize he was here, too, unti now. He must’ve snuck in the back door under a different name like I did.

Just having fun with another ship-jumper.

I just figured it out from another thread, I’m a little slow and apparently not the only one with a different name.

I took the piano score of the song that i wanted for my tattoo. So i have the lyrics on me but also the music.

I have some actual song music notes incorporated into one of my tattoos, also, but no lyrics.

A pleasure making your acquaintance, sir. I’m a fan of your tattoo work! 😀

What am I missing?

Welcome from still another. Look out folks, we’ve arrived.

Maybe someone knows of a tattoo artist in ny, the closer to central ny the better, who knows how to work well with crystals and/or ice without making it look cheap? I rarely see tattoos with the latter in them so I’m hesitant with picking someone.

I’m not really sure how well crystals/ice will translate to a tattoo.

Hey reef, good to have another rat on board. We’ve been waiting for you. Glad you got the registering sorted out.

…And simplify things. It sounds like you’re trying to include far too many elements into one tattoo. An artist isn’t going to like the idea of combining crystals, a rose, fleur de lis with designs, kanji, etc. I’ll quote from another thread, “you’re cramming 10 lbs of shit into a 5 lb bag.” (Thanks buttwheat)

Looks pretty solid so far, clean lines and shading.

Have you asked a medical doctor about this? Although some people here can maybe speak from experience, If I were you I’d be interested what a doctor thought and not just some people on a forum.

Welcome to the forum Rider. We accept rats from sinking ships, as long as they don’t bring disease with them. Any such will be forecefully removed 🙂

And we don’t bring disease, we bring knowledge, truth and honesty…and some good ink! Hopefully the disease stayed with the sinking ship but we’ll see.

Hey Rider, nice to see you. From one of your fellow rats.

What you really should be doing is taking everything you just said, and say that to a tattoo artist in person. They would be able to help you best.

I would love to be there to see the artist’s reaction to those requests.

OK, I’ll try to be a little nicer although I stand by my first post. Tajen gave some good advice, come up with something if you can that represents your family as a whole, such as a shared hobby or interest. You want to be careful not to combine a bunch of individual elements which will make the piece too busy and cluttered. You also have to…[Read more]

So you want a bunch of strangers to come up with a unique symbol to represent YOUR family? Wow, I really don’t know what else to say. Let me ask you this, would you be able to come up with something to symbolize MY family?

You also have to be mentally prepared to deal with whatever pain there is. It’s going to hurt but you’re fear is only going to make it worse. Don’t be one of those clients who scream and move, you will piss off the artist and end up with a shit tattoo. Pain is relative, some think it doesn’t hurt that much and others disagree. If you’re really…[Read more]

Are you sure you really want your first tattoo to be on your hand?

I don’t think it’s infected but really looks like the artist worked the hell out of it. Don’t over moisturize, see what happens and be ready for a touchup or two.

Seen it before but it’s pretty cool.
